It is said, "It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy that makes happiness."
Being happy does not require everything to be good but an eye to see good in everything. One day a crow saw a swan. "This swan is so white," he thought, and I am so black. This swan must be the happiest bird in the world." The swan replied, "I was feeling that I was the happiest bird around. But I think the parrot is the happiest bird as it has two colours."
The crow then approached the parrot. The parrot said, "I have only two colours, but the peacock has multiple colours." The crow then visited a peacock in the zoo. "Dear peacock," the crow said, "you are so beautiful. Every day, thousands of people come to see you. You are the happiest bird on the planet."
The peacock said, "I always thought that I was the most beautiful and happy bird on the planet. But I am entrapped in this zoo. I have realised that the crow is the only bird not kept in a cage, and could happily roam everywhere."

Explanation

It is said that is is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy that makes happiness.
Being happy does not require everything to be good but an eye to see good in everything. One day a crow saw a swan. He thought that swan was so white and he was so black. He further thought that swan must be the happiest bird in the world.
The swan replied that he was feeling that he was the happiest bird around, but he thought that the parrot was the happiest bird, as it has two colours. The crow then approached the parrot. The parrot said that he had only two colours, but the peacock has multiple colours.
The crow then visited a peacock in the zoo. He said affectionately to the peacock that he is so beautiful. He further added, that thousands of people came to see him every day and he was the happiest bird on the planet.
The peacock said that he always thought that he was the most beautiful and happy bird on the planet, but he was entrapped in that zoo. He further added that he had realised that the crow was the only bird not kept in a cage and could happily roam everywhere.
